Ah yes, reading the shorter summary page (time!) I see that sound
recordings and broadcasts are both handled as I would prefer, dated
from the creation/broadcast date.  Literary works, software and film
are covered by the insanely long death+70.

It's odd that TV and film get such different durations.
